US Intel Analysts: Our Terrorism Reports Are Being Altered to Fit Administration’s Narrative

Mediaite reports:

The Pentagon’s inspector general opened an investigation into formal complaints by more than 50 US intelligence analysts charging their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda are being altered “within the senior level of the intelligence command,” The Daily Beast reports.

A written complaint by two senior analysts at US Central Command (CENTCOM), and corroborated by 50 other analysts, allege reports on the two terrorist organizations are being watered-down by higher-ups at CENTCOM to fit in with the Obama administration’s public narrative that the US is containing and defeating ISIS and al Qaeda forces.

Some CENTCOM analysts, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, indicated the complaints are a “revolt” by the intelligence community whose role is to provide accurate reports of the US progress against terrorist organizations. Those officials contend the altering of their reports results in inaccurate portrayals of the US fight against ISIS and al Qaeda.

Imagine that.
